Gated supramolecular chemistry in hybrid mesoporous silica nanoarchitectures: controlled delivery and molecular transport in response to chemical, physical and biological stimuli
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2015-05)
This review presents and discusses recent advances in the emerging field of "gated nanochemistry", outlining the substantial progress made so far. The development of hybrid mesoporous silica with complex tailored pore ...
Crossing biological barriers with nanogels to improve drug delivery performance
(Elsevier Science, 2019-08)
The current limitations in the use of nanocarriers to treat constantly evolving diseases call for the design of novel and smarter drug delivery systems (DDS). Nanogels (NGs) are three-dimensional crosslinked polymers with ...
Structural shape optimisation using boundary elements and the biological growth method
(Springer, 2004-09)
A numerical evolutionary procedure for the structural optimisation for stress reduction of two-dimensional structures is presented in this paper. The proposed procedure couples the biological growth method (BGM) with the ...
Biodistribution of titanium dioxide from biologic compartments
(Springer, 2008-04)
The layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2) of the implant is chronically exposed to the internal electrolyte milieu in the peri-implant biological compartment. Corrosion results from electrochemical attack and ensuing gradual ...
Influence of silicification on the structural and biological properties of buffer-mediated collagen hydrogels
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2012-03)
A buffer-mediated gelation route for collagen hydrogels that allows the formation of homogeneous composite and hybrid materials with various silica sources (i.e., colloidal silica and soluble silicates) at high concentration ...
Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modeling of a novel series of fused 1,2,3-triazoles as potential anti-coronavirus agents
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel library of fused 1,2,3-triazole derivatives are described. The in-house developed multicomponent reaction based on commercially available starting materials was applied and ...
Biology and systematics of the leafmining Gracillariidae of Brazilian pepper tree, schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, with descriptions of a new genus and four new species)
(Lepidopterists Society, 2011-08)
Recent surveys in southern Florida, USA, Brazil and Argentina, for biological control agents to assist in the control of the invasive Brazilian peppertree, have discovered several previously unknown species of plant mining ...
Assessment of biological effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy in primary and metastatic melanoma cell lines
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-08)
Purpose: In order to optimize the effectiveness of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) and Compound Biological Effectiveness (CBE) were determined in two human melanoma cell lines, ...
Recent advances on elemental biosorption
(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-03)
Industrial activities play a relevant role in environmental pollution since their wastes contain high concentrations of toxic elements that can add significant contamination to natural water and other water sources if no ...
Physicochemical, biological and drug-release properties of gallium crosslinked alginate/nanoparticulate bioactive glass composite films
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011-05)
The aim of this work was to develop biodegradable and bioactive materials with sufficient structural integrity and prophylaxis effect against infection based on alginate-bioactive glass composite. The incorporation of ...
